About this ebook
Complete and unabridged, with 58 full-page plates by Marianne North, Alfred Sisley and William Powell Frith. Two sisters are left illegitimate and penniless by a technicality in their parents' marriage, and the younger sets out to get the money back by any means, including impersonation and a marriage she loathes.

Fifty-eight plates, from Millet's peasants to Frith's lovers and Lear's landscapes, picture the inheritance, courtship, and loss that Collins's disinherited sisters must navigate.
